Following on from last week (be sure to read that first), I want to wrap up this look at plug-in workflows with an example of what happens along the way.

That’s also why some people haven’t even heard of Adobe Camera Raw even though they’re using it; it’s the program designed by Adobe to develop RAW files, so it’s integrated into all Adobe photo-editing programs, including Lightroom.
